The third Bear Furniture Store in Lorain County will open tomorrow at O'Neil Sheffield Shopping Center. Sixth in a chain headquartered in Akron, the new outlet is billed by operators as the newest and most modern furniture and appliance store at the Sheffield center.
Robert E. George of Lorain has been named manager of Bear Furniture Company’s new store at O’Neil-Sheffield Shopping Center. A veteran and former assistant sales manager, George leads a local staff of eight with supervision by local management and will oversee opening tasks and displays ahead of the store’s opening. Bear emphasizes large buying power of over 75 million dollars, enabling frequent sales and lower prices.
George L. Zeis reports on a former quarry near Kenyon in Hardin County that filled with water and became an improvised pasture.

Three years of sheep on the island show strong pasture yield with minimal feed, while lambs are ferried to market each fall.
